Sabbat - Sabbatrinity
Review by Jérôme LEGAY
Sabbatrinity is the third studio album by the Japanese black/thrash metal band Sabbat, released in 1991. The album features a unique blend of black metal and thrash metal, with elements of traditional heavy metal and Japanese folklore.
The album opens with the epic track "Black Fire", a fast-paced and aggressive song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lyrics are inspired by the Japanese legend of the Yamata no Orochi, a giant eight-headed serpent that is defeated by the god Susanoo.
Other standout tracks include "Mion's Hill", a mid-tempo song with a catchy chorus and a haunting guitar solo, and "Evil Nations", a fast and furious song with lyrics about the horrors of war and imperialism.
The production on Sabbatrinity is raw and unpolished, which adds to the album's overall charm and authenticity. The vocals are harsh and aggressive, and the guitar riffs are fast and furious.
